Longevity Martial Arts: Grinding Experience in the Chaotic World

Chapter 1002: Chapter 525: The Pearl Inside the Clam Shell

As the Four-eyed Divine Beast approached, a foul and pungent odor assaulted their senses.

Gu Sheng and the others instinctively covered their mouths and noses, but just as they raised their hands, the beast suddenly roared, a wave of sound rushing toward their exposed weak spots at the waist and abdomen!

Realizing something was amiss, Gu Sheng immediately lowered his hand, his body swiftly twisting as he leaped to dodge the attack.

He managed to avoid it, but Shi Lou and the others weren’t so fortunate.

They instinctively withdrew their hands, but their movements weren’t as fast as the beast’s sound wave, and in an instant, their waists and abdomens were severely injured!

Hearing several cries of pain, Gu Sheng’s expression changed as he quickly shielded everyone.

"Hurry and heal your injuries."

After he spoke, Huang Shan gritted his teeth and shook his head.

"No, the beast is so formidable that you can’t hold it off alone. Even though we’re injured, we can still hold it off for a while!"

Once he finished speaking, Gu Sheng immediately clenched his fist.

"We’re not even halfway up the mountain, and you’ve already been hurt. If you don’t treat your injuries, we might never get the Spiritual Pearl in this lifetime! I said heal your injuries, now go!"

Gu Sheng’s tone carried undeniable authority, and Huang Shan and the others, feeling his pressure, could only grit their back teeth and follow his orders.

The moment they sat down, the Four-eyed Divine Beast launched another attack.

It seemed to have gained intelligence, as it no longer targeted Gu Sheng but instead aimed at Huang Shan and the others sitting there!

Smelling its foul stench once more, Gu Sheng pretended not to notice, summoned the Fire Spirit Dagger, and with a twist of his wrist, a red glow streaked across as he charged straight at the Four-eyed Divine Beast, raising the dagger high, aiming directly at its neck!

Blocked by Gu Sheng, the Four-eyed Divine Beast was extremely displeased, roaring again, and the sound wave rushed straight at Gu Sheng.

Seeing it use the same tactic again, Gu Sheng firmly planted his feet, the Fire Spirit Dagger hacking forward repeatedly, breaking through the sound waves one after another.

When the last thread of sound disappeared, Gu Sheng launched a fatal attack, flames erupting from the dagger, and even his body emitted flashes of red light.

The Fire Spirit Dagger’s tip aimed directly at the Four-eyed Divine Beast, and Gu Sheng suddenly leapt upward, avoiding its sight, then dropped rapidly, taking advantage of its turning moment to stab fiercely into its body!

As blood splattered, the Four-eyed Divine Beast screamed in agony.

This time, Gu Sheng didn’t feel any Divine Power in its roar, realizing that the sounds it made while unprepared lacked Divine Power!

Acknowledging this, he launched another attack.

The Fire Spirit Dagger danced nimbly in his hand, the red flames it brought resembling a nimble snake constantly moving around his wrist, before abruptly striking towards the Four-eyed Divine Beast.

Infuriated after being stabbed, the Four-eyed Divine Beast was provoked fully, watching as Gu Sheng approached once more, it suddenly held its breath, its entire abdomen and body starting to swell!

Knowing it was brewing something, Gu Sheng felt a shock, quickly ascending.

However, the Four-eyed Divine Beast locked onto him, its gaze immediately following his ascent.

When Gu Sheng floated in mid-air, the Four-eyed Divine Beast suddenly released a roar, its sound wave stronger than ever before, shaking Gu Sheng’s heart fiercely!

Understanding the Four-eyed Divine Beast was using its big move, Gu Sheng clenched his teeth, preparing for a life-or-death struggle!

Swiftly dodging to the right, the sound wave shifted, allowing him to raise the Fire Spirit Dagger, unleashing half of its Divine Power, the dagger tip smashing down fiercely!

At that moment, while the Four-eyed Divine Beast was still exerting its power, seeing Gu Sheng’s sudden descent, disbelief flashed in its eyes.

Noticing it hadn’t dodged, Gu Sheng’s eyes sparkled.

He knew he had bet correctly!

In a fleeting instant, the sound wave from the Four-eyed Divine Beast’s mouth weakened, but Gu Sheng’s speed was far quicker than it imagined, as it wanted to evade, Gu Sheng’s Fire Spirit Dagger had already plunged fiercely into its body again!

Blood erupted once more, the Four-eyed Divine Beast’s claws frantically flailed, attempting to shake off Gu Sheng.

Yet, Gu Sheng clung like an entangling python, his legs gripping tight, his body entwining the Four-eyed Divine Beast, no matter how it moved and shook, he refused to let go.

Seizing the opportunity, the Fire Spirit Dagger plunged into the Four-eyed Divine Beast’s abdomen, blood soaking Gu Sheng completely.

As the Four-eyed Divine Beast rampaged again, Gu Sheng held the dagger tightly, slicing backward fiercely!

Hearing a clatter, the beast’s innards spilled onto the ground!

Seeing the heart, Gu Sheng leapt up, stomping hard on it.

With a bang, the heart burst, and the Four-eyed Divine Beast finally collapsed to the ground!

Only then did Gu Sheng notice he was drenched in sweat and blood, even his hand holding the Fire Spirit Dagger trembled slightly with excitement.

Taking a moment to calm down, he stepped forward, completely skinned the Four-eyed Divine Beast, and removed its four eyes.

Gazing at the eyes in his hand, shining like Luminous Pearls, Gu Sheng breathed a long sigh of relief.

"It seems the outside rumors weren’t wrong; South Mountain truly is filled with treasures."

Shi Lou and the others finished recovering, quickly approaching him, catching just the moment he spoke.

"Brother Sheng, the items are indeed good, but wasn’t the process too perilous?"

"How can it be considered a good treasure without some danger?"

Wiping the blood from his face, Gu Sheng tossed everything into the Storage Ring.

"There’s a sound over there, seems like a water source, I’ll go wash up."

Hearing this, everyone hurriedly followed.

"Brother Sheng, there are many dangers in South Mountain, it’s better not to separate."

"Alright, then follow me together."

Following the sound of the water source, Gu Sheng proceeded forward, finally spotting a small stream.
